The End Of The Party: Hyde Park 1969

Synopsis

Previously unseen footage of Blind Faith’s famous first performance at a free concert in Hyde Park in 1969 incorporating footage of the director Anthony Stern and his friends in the park that day. The sense of the film is as a poignant reflection on the ‘end of an era’, the drawing to a close of the ‘golden idealism’ of the 1960’s.
